Yes - I was thinking of using tubular sleeves that extend all the way thru both walls to keep from crushing anything. They would be welded to a metal flange and the metal flange would be screwed or bonded to the bottom wall of the cowl. The sleeves would extend up thru the voided area to the top surface of the cowl. Drop screws down thru the sleeves and thread into nuts that were welded to the bottom of the sleeve.

I like the serts Nick posted. Much, much, easier, but I am concerned about robustness. Anyone have any direct experience using them in glass?
